Product Overview
The EATON SV3-12-C-0-00 (also referenced as 02-161062) is a high-performance solenoid-operated directional control valve from the Vickers by Eaton hydraulic valve series. Engineered around a robust sliding spool design, this 4-way, 3-position (4/3) valve directs hydraulic flow to extend, hold, or retract a double-acting actuator by shifting its spool via a wet-armature AC or DC solenoid. The “C” spool configuration provides a closed-center condition, meaning all ports are blocked in the neutral position, allowing the actuator to hold position under load. This valve serves as a critical control element in industrial hydraulic circuits, delivering precise directional control, dependable load-holding capability, and rapid, repeatable response for demanding machine functions.

Engineering Features & Advantages
- Precision Spool Metering: The precision-ground sliding spool delivers accurate flow metering and smooth, controlled shifting, minimizing pressure spikes and ensuring repeatable actuator motion across the full operating envelope.
- Closed-Center Load Holding: The “C” spool blocks all ports in the neutral position, providing reliable load-holding capability and preventing actuator drift without the need for external pilot-operated check valves.
- Rapid Solenoid Response: The wet-armature solenoid design ensures fast, consistent actuation with low hysteresis, enabling high-cycle machine operation and precise sequencing in automated hydraulic circuits.
- Industrial Reliability: Built for continuous operation under severe industrial conditions, with robust construction that resists contamination, thermal cycling, and mechanical wear.
- Direct Fit Replacement: Exact dimensional and functional compatibility with original OEM Vickers SV3 series valves, ensuring drop-in replacement without modification to manifolds or subplates.
Typical Industrial Applications
This solenoid directional valve is widely deployed in demanding hydraulic systems, including plastic injection molding machines requiring precise clamp and injection sequencing, metallurgical presses and rolling mills operating under high-cycle loads
